The Marquis's Lowly Concubine

After transmigrating to another world, Jiang Fan was forced to become a palace selection candidate.

Before she could even enter the palace, the emperor died. An imperial decree arrived, ordering all the selected women to be buried with him.

The condemned were like lambs without an owner, and it was inevitable that some would abuse their authority and harbor wicked intentions. To force her to submit, one man promised to spare her life if she obeyed him and became his plaything.

She didn't want to die, but she didn't want a life worse than death, either. Just as she faced a life-or-death choice, a fire broke out at the royal villa. She seized her chance to escape, but she had been drugged with an aphrodisiac. In her panic, she stumbled into a residence.

As her reason began to slip away, the master of the residence returned. His body was burning hot and his breathing was ragged. Like her, he was powerless to resist.

Afterward, she hid from place to place, living in constant fear. To her surprise, the first person to find her wasn't the man who had forced her into this, but the man with whom she had consummated a marriage.

There was no joy or pity in his eyes, only a chilling desire to kill.

Because she was a disgrace, a stain to be eliminated and erased.

In desperation, she fell to her knees, each word like a step across a blade. "Please don't kill me. I... I might be carrying your child."

By sheer luck, she survived and was taken back to the marquis's residence by the man.

She had no known origins or identity, and wasn't even worthy of a name of her own. In the eyes of the world, she was a lowly concubine of the lowest rank.
